I just wonder... why? I mean mining and such can take a lot of power, but I didn't think it was quite that much... if you're going to hack something, computers that prevent a meltdown should be on the bottom of the list. unless that's really the intent, it seems like the worst choice in regards to accomplishing something.

I have to agree it’s a bad choice. Probably going to result in life in jail and could hurt the mining community if countries fear what people will do to mine.

The thread title is wrong, the events took place in Ukraine, not Russia.

From what I have heard the power plant is under Russian control even though it's located in the Ukraine. It's probably because of the break up of the USSR since if Russia had invasion of the Ukraine had resulted in seizing a nuclear power plant I think that would make news.

theft of power is common with coin miners proving the lawlessness of the bunch

Sounds like the plot of an Austin Powers sequel movie.
